The Breathing Class

In the perfect city on Mars, the air you get depends on who you are.

Continuity One is humanity's masterpiece: a bright, orderly settlement beneath the Martian sky. Dr Eirik Halvorsen has been hired to provide the final certification.

His audit finds missing life-support parts, double-counted oxygen, and a class system hidden inside the settlement's survival calculations. To refuse certification, he must make himself part of the evidence.
